18 I figured I'd get this question. i briefly played with cargo. (In
19 fact I'm planning on asking the cargo people for feedback as week).
20 Perhaps if one are interested in manipulating wars from ant/maven,
21 cargo is the way to go. But cargo didn't provide any commandline
22 interface, and I'm not doing anything (currently) that requires having
23 access to the java api of the containers. I'm basically
24 copying/symlinking files. (It could be done with a shell script, but
25 that would make it harder to maintain (IMO) and not work on windows
26 (without cygwin, which isn't really an option for me)).
27
28 I really prefer scripting in python to java (though if cargo really is
29 the way to go, my code just needs a few changes to run under jython).
30 Or I could port it to java...
